I’m not a Democrat. It’s not that Democrats are too liberal. It’s that they’re largely fucking useless.

Hey remember when Utah launched a carelessly thrown together form to report trans people in public spaces? New snitch line is up, but requires a Utah IP address to submit. Would be a real shame if a bunch of people used VPNs to fill it with useless data again. hotlineform.utah.gov/equal_opport...

wake up bluesky a new utah snitch line just dropped (you'll need a vpn if you're outside utah for this one) hotlineform.utah.gov/equal-opport...

One way to see the Hochul climb-down in congestion pricing is that it is another instance where blue state politicians create a vetocracy that stops them from taking actions that would improve the quality of lives for citizens. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/n...

Supporters of Congestion Pricing Are Furious at Hochul’s ‘Betrayal’www.nytimes.com Advocates who have been fighting for decades for the program were shocked by the governor’s sudden move and its impact on funding for the city’s subways.

We've gone from "congestion pricing will screw businesses and is just another tax on New Yorkers" to "Why don't we just tax businesses and screw New Yorkers instead?" It gives the game away: the controversy around congestion pricing has only ever been about opposition from suburban drivers.

From the sound of things it was basically Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer who pushed Hochul into backing down, not that she didn't hear from other people, of course. You can call their offices to let them know what you think. Jeffries: (718) 237-2211 Schumer: (212) 486-4430

someone made a phone call yesterday and scared her into the dumbest sounding rationale to this incredibly cowardly action

Call and email every elected official you have if you live in NY. I have managed to talk to a human being at every office except Schumer’s. Hakeem Jeffries’ office was very receptive to my concerns.

The real gravy on the sundae is the message that our traffic has to stay fucked up forever because Democratic bigwigs are worried about losing congressional races in the New York suburbs, like, the same people who didn't bother to do oppo on George Santos

As a Jewish person who is, in fact, worried about antisemitism (though, not from college campuses), this absolutely horrifies me.

Congress wants ANTISEMITISM MONITORS at colleges. Nothing about the anti-Islamic, anti-black, anti-woman, anti-LGBTQ,

Bipartisan bill would create "antisemitism monitors" at collegeswww.axios.com The COLUMBIA Act is the first bill introduced in direct response to recent campus protests.

Awful.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws) cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble
